Well, I worked on this issue but is not easy. 

You to sum up:
- you spot the problem with DBD::ODBC
- I wrote a test that should reproduce the issue (raiserror.c)
- I fixed the test
- time pass
- you did test again (on december) but is seems to not work again
- I realize that test was using odbc 2 while DBD::ODBC use odbc 3
then I tried to fix the problem. It seems that messages on odbc 3 are
handled in a different way. In particular odbc 3 produce a single no row
recordset for raiserror while odbc 2 incorporate error message in
previous recordset.

I just committed a patch however it do not fix all issues. In particular
script don't like warning (SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO from SQLMoreResults)
while it handle now correctly errors (SQL_ERROR from SQLMoreResults) I
have to look what happen with ms driver one.
